Hello hello Trying to jump ships if I don’t get promoted in the next 6 months so starting to interview prep now I have done a good number of problems last time I prepped (600 ish) but this was in Python. I want to know if for a senior role python would be okay? I use Java at work so it’s not like I don’t know Java at all, it’s just I’d have to interview prep all over again in Java. Is there a preferred language for Senior, Staff etc? What do you guys think? TC : 200 YOE: L4 2.7 #amazon #java #apple #stripe #startup #square
Python is best for LC style questions
Interview in the target language you want to use at work. I only interview ppl in c++ because if they want to work on my team they need to do c++. If you want a position in python, then interviewing in python makes the most sense
This advice makes no sense. People are hired for their intelligence and problem solving skills and not their experience in a particular language. I have almost never given an interview in the language that the company uses and it has never been an issue. If you hire based on language skills instead of intelligence then you will always end up with bad hires.
You're a stupid interviewer giving bad advice.
Definitely stick with an easy language for coding interviews. No point tripping yourself up over syntax.
The fact you are asking this question implies you’re not really ready to be a senior engineer
I've heard Snowflake demands you to use Java. But stick with Python otherwise
I was interviewed by snowflake last month and didn't use Java . It is not required.
Sometimes it matters, but sometimes you get tired of monkey dancing for the twelfth useful idiot with half your experience and choose to hex the coding interview with a language they don’t know. So unless you are trying for a job doing hard performance work or specialized to a language stack (AI, gpu dev, systems programming), use whatever you are familiar with. As for C++, those folks just confuse their language’s incidental complexity for intelligent design .. don’t pay them any extra attention.
